Last season, the San Francisco Optx were unceremoniously booted from the playoffs. The team was coming on strong toward the end of their campaign before losing a close match to the Carolina Core in the playoffs.

Now, with the second season of the Championship Gaming Series under way, the Optx find themselves 3-2 and tied for second place in the North America division after a revenge win against the Core.

What’s in store for the team this year? I had a chance to talk with the team’s general manager Kathleen Hunter. She’s gone through a turbulent off-season along with the rest of the league as teams had to protect players and let some others go in the preseason draft. Now, Hunter has an Optx team that will probably spend the better part of the season getting to know each other again.
